..All KS domains from both metagenome approaches formed a single cluster with KS domains originating from metagenomes derived from other sponge species from other geographical regions...

Gene discovery within the planctomycete division of the domain Bacteria using sequence tags from genomic DNA libraries

Cheryl JenkinsDepartment of Microbiology and Parasitology, School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, AustraliaGenome Biol 3:RESEARCH0031. 2002

..A random sequencing approach was applied to the genomes of two planctomycete species, Gemmata obscuriglobus and Pirellula marina, to discover genes relevant to their cell biology and physiology...

Intracellular compartmentation in planctomycetes

John A FuerstSchool of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, AustraliaAnnu Rev Microbiol 59:299-328. 2005

..Organisms in phyla other than the phylum Planctomycetes may possess compartmentation similar to that of some planctomycetes, as in the case of members of the phylum Poribacteria from marine sponges...

..Based on the postulated superphylum relationship, we hypothesized that members of the two separate phyla Planctomycetes and Verrucomicrobia might share a similar ultrastructure plan differing from classical prokaryote organization...

Structural studies of planctomycete Gemmata obscuriglobus support cell compartmentalisation in a bacterium

Evgeny SagulenkoSchool of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, AustraliaPLoS ONE 9:e91344. 2014

..obscuriglobus cells and their unique mechanism of cell division. We discuss how these new data expand our knowledge on bacterial cell biology and suggest evolutionary consequences of the findings. ..

Marine actinomycetes related to the "Salinospora" group from the Great Barrier Reef sponge Pseudoceratina clavata

Tae Kyung KimDepartment of Microbiology and Parasitology, School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, AustraliaEnviron Microbiol 7:509-18. 2005

..In vitro bioassays of extracts from the isolates for antibiotic activity demonstrated that these actinomycetes have the potential to inhibit other sponge symbionts in vivo, including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria...

The PVC superphylum: exceptions to the bacterial definition?

John A FuerstSchool of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, 4072, AustraliaAntonie Van Leeuwenhoek 104:451-66. 2013

..As the case of discovery of endocytosis-like protein uptake in planctomycetes has suggested, this may prove a strong basis for the immediate future of experimental research programs in the PVC scientific community. ..

The cell cycle of the planctomycete Gemmata obscuriglobus with respect to cell compartmentalization

..It was therefore of interest to examine the cell division cycle in G. obscuriglobus and the process of nucleoid distribution and nuclear body formation during division in this planctomycete bacterium via light and electron microscopy...

Isolation of Gemmata-like and Isosphaera-like planctomycete bacteria from soil and freshwater

Jenny WangDepartment of Microbiology and Parasitology, School of Molecular and Microbial Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, AustraliaAppl Environ Microbiol 68:417-22. 2002

..Two isolates from this study represent the first planctomycetes successfully cultivated from soil...

Laura A van NiftrikDepartment of Biotechnology, Delft University of Technology, The NetherlandsFEMS Microbiol Lett 233:7-13. 2004

..This review will introduce different forms of intracytoplasmic membrane systems found in prokaryotes and discuss the compartmentalization in anammox bacteria and its possible functional relation to catabolism and energy transduction...

..Furthermore, cytochrome c proteins were detected exclusively inside the anammoxosome. This detection provides further support for the hypothesis that this organelle is the locus of anammox catabolism...
